Back

Hopefully you didn't stray too far because over the weekend the community of which Nomadic Thoughts is a part, AnthroBlogs.org, underwent some changes that affected our hosting situation. Nothing visible or functional has changed, just our affiliation. As usual, continue to check out the other blogs as well as the community one as it continues to grow.

When I last posted I was leaving for Tampa, Florida to visit the University of South Florida, where I'll be going to graduate school in the fall for archaeology. I was there for four days with my father and incredibly, we got virtually evertything done on the first morning. Practially a repeat of everything I did for undergraduate: getting an ID card, turning in my health form, visiting financial aid, and registering for classes. This Fall I'll be taking a Masters seminar, Cultural Resource Management, Chiefdoms, and an undergraduate linguistics course because I didn't take any at UNCW. More than a full graduate load, but I think I'll be so gung-ho the first semester that it won't be too much.

Also got some good news earlier today: I've been awarded a 10 hour graduate assistantship. This gives me a tuition waiver (a HUGE cut considering I'm out-of-state) and a job. Not sure what I'll be doing yet, though.
